The suites and villas of this Greek resort, located on the northern bluffs of the Aegean Peninsula, dot the lush hillside of Sithonia and offer stunning sea views. The hotel boasts an extended spa complete with an indoor swimming pool, along with twelve magnificent suites. The pièce-de-resistance, however, is the spectacular White Villa, whose floor-to-ceiling windows frame the classic Greek vista. Interiors feature Fendi upholstered sofas, Persian rugs, Missoni drapes and original artwork, while the exterior is centered around an enormous private terrace and a heated infinity pool. The sweeping vistas also take center stage at The Squirrel, the open-air gourmet restaurant headed by Chef Herve Pronzato, which is considered one of the finest culinary temples in Greece.
